Storing food in the refrigerator section Warmest area The warmest area in the refrigerator section is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and cheese so that it retains its flavor. Food which is not suitable for storage in the fridge zone Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) because it is sensitive to cold.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Notes on buying food The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the fridge, e.g., transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum. Storing food correctly Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in the MasterFresh zone).
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone MastertFresh zone The MastertFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavor and vitamins. The MasterFresh zone comprises a humidity-controlled and a dry compartment. - Depending on the moisture-regulator setting, the humidity-controlled compartment is particularly suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone The moisture regulator is used to regulate the amount of moisture in the humidity-controlled compartment with settings to . Position of the moisture regulator = slightly increased humidity Select this setting if you store very large quantities of fruits and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The moisture regulator partially closes the vents in the compartment so that some of the moisture present is retained.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone Dry compartment with adjustable temperature Tip: This compartment is ideal for all home-cooked meals as any microorganisms that may still be present cannot multiply. The dry compartment is ideal for storing perishable foods such as: The temperature in the dry compartment is maintained at 30 to 37°F (-1 to 3°C).
